KIRK WORRYING THAT HE OBJECTIFIES WOMEN. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND REALLY SOAK THIS IN.Β
[Image description: The first image is a two-panel Star Trek comic where Kirk asks Bones, βBonesβ¦ do you think I like women?β In the second panel, Bones reacts to this by coughing and spilling his drink all over himself.
In the second image, Bones asks Kirk to clarify his question, asking, βAsβ¦ uhβ¦ As opposed to what?β Kirk replies, saying, βAs opposed to feeling threatened by them. I mean, do you think Iβm someone who feels uncomfortable being subordinate to, or on par with, a woman? Am I someone who relegates each woman I meet – especially the good-looking ones – to the status of either βI want herβ or βI donβt want herβ?β]
listen, when i go to open my mouth & what comes out is 12 degrees of seperation from what the original topic was, u need to connect the dots bitch. think fast. iβm not gonna hold ur hand but weβre leaving now and visiting every topic along the line. wave it goodbye, donβt get hung up on it
behavioural and emotional patterns of living in abuse:
you spend most of your time shut in your room
youβre scared of footsteps approaching your door
you prefer not to come out unless thereβs nobody home
when they come back you run to your room/safe place
youβre nervous and anxious if you have to spend time in presence of others
you try to get away from your home, you wish you could live somewhere else
your self-confidence is very low
you worry about making too much noise (have a feeling youβll get yellet at
or abused for it)
you try to move around as silently as possible and try to not be noticed by
anyone
you feel uncomfortable and uneasy sitting at the same table as rest of
family/housemates
you donβt feel like you belong here
you feel like a burden to your housemates
you donβt feel like youβre worth having around or supporting in any way
you donβt feel like anyone will ever love you or believe in you
you donβt feel like anything you do is good enough
you canβt stand someone watching you do things like cleaning or anything
else you need to get done
you try really hard to still find good points about your life and cling to
them
you strongly worry that you are somehow worse than anyone else
you feel like youβre behind on everyone and that youβre failing to live
your life properly
you donβt feel like anything would have changed if you died, or even that
it would be better if you did
if youβre experiencing most of this, youβre going through abuse. Your value
isnβt in any way less than other humans, and you are absolutely not any kind of
burden. You are human who is forced to live in a way humans arenβt meant to
live. You are in living conditions that disable you from feeling happy,
fulfilled, or even seeing yourself as a human being. Β You are suffering. What is being done to you
is not okay. You deserve better than this.
like I have drunk coffee everyday since i hit, 16 so take this with a grain of salt but. i feel it’s just started getting, addiction-y this over last month. ive started feeling like, Fuck, I need a coffee Right Now, or i’ll explode. it was just a thing i did before without feeling like I Needed to. and I don’t like it it’s just making me more tense. idk what’s different, I’ve been roughly this stressed for ages, ive been this prone to addiction for ages, have my other ways of coping gotten worse or worn out or, what, idk
